Sparkplug Foundation Awards GME a 2020 Grant

We are honoured and grateful to share that the Sparkplug Foundation has selected GME for a funding award, to be used towards the completion of The Forgotten Kingdom — Sand Stories.

The Sparkplug Foundation is a family foundation that funds start-up organizations and new projects of established organizations in music, education and community organizing. We aim to support the development of emerging democratic movements and communities working on issues of local democracy, justice, and sustainable energy in the rebuilding of the U.S. and global economies.

The Forgotten Kingdom – Sand Stories
History and emotionality collide as The Forgotten Kingdom’s theatrically projected sand animation, riveting musical score, and radio-theatre stories bring to life a travelogue of an unraveling, multi-ethnic Ottoman world, as glimpsed through Ottoman Sephardi women’s songs and tales.
